Welcome
Hello, Sarahhsalter, and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are a course instructor leading a class project.


 * New to Wikipedia or want to learn about best practices for Wikipedia assignments?

The training includes instructions for setting up a structured course page, with tools for tracking student work and encouraging peer review. Please also see this helpful advice for instructors.

If you run into problems or want some feedback on your Wikipedia assignment plans, try posting to the education noticeboard. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page (editing policy)
 * Introduction
 * Help pages
 * Wikitext cheatsheet

While editing:
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Be bold, but do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay after your assignment is finished! Doug Weller talk 10:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

 * So all your students must be given a similar alert. It just means our policies and guidelines are enforced more on such pages (including talk pages). At times there might be special restrictions on an article, these will be described at the top of the talk page. See Template:Contentious topics/alert/first - it's the one with the code gg.
